Eliminate bullying, using this simple method.

Eliminate bullying, using this simple method.

Any time a bully verbally attacks you, agree with them, even if what they’re saying isn’t true. Bullies are mean. They say and do things that aren’t nice and certainly aren’t true. Bullies are unkind, insensitive and cruel. We, however, are all beautiful people, made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27; So God created man in His own image…) We deserve to feel safe whether at home, or at school. 

Here’s a simple method to use, when someone says something that causes you to feel inferior, less than, unwanted, or unloved…

Let’s say, for example, someone tells you your hair is awful. It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. Just agree with the person and reply; “I know it is. It always looks so messy.” Say it even if you don’t agree. It throws the bully off track, disarming him/her. Then turn the tables and make them feel good. You could say; “You’ve got beautiful hair. I wish I had hair like yours.” Bullies don’t know what to do with this. They don’t know where to go when you agree with them.

A bully might then counter attack with another negative. Bullies often come back a second or third time, but seldom a forth. So, if the bully starts on another area and says something like, “I hate what you’re wearing.” You could reply with, “I know. I’ve got terrible dress sense. You always wear lovely clothing. I wish I had your sense of style.”

It might be your body shape they pick on: too fat, too thin, too tall, to short. Your face is ugly, you have pimples, big feet, a big nose. Whatever it is, just agree with them, turn the tables and they’ll soon run out of things to say and leave you alone. 

If you react, or become upset, this fuels the bully to add more flames to the fire. Be pleasant, agree with the bully and turn the tables. 

Your agreeing with the bully is only for counter attack. Don’t ever let someone cause you to believe in the horrible, negative things a bully says. In the bible, Psalms 139:14 states; “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” 

No matter who you are, no matter what people say, God’s word is truth. You are created in God’s own image and are fearfully and wonderfully made! And don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

#Integrity; truthfulness, honesty and reliability, in all things.

I believe one should....be truthful in everything you say and do. Keep all relationships open and honest. Be reliable, punctual and organised and if you say you'll do it - do it. 

If you want to soar like an eagle, make an effort, not an excuse.
